It's called networking. Business people, lawyers, ect do a lot of it. Keeping in touch with acquaintances, business contacts, past and present coworkers is just good business. I still get christmas cards from the realtor I bought my house from. Doesn't mean she's a "good buddy" of mine.
The recommendation must mean she knows his work and thinks he's ethical and competent. Would you expect her to hire an unknown or someone she thinks is uncompetent and had refused to give a recommendation to?
